Good Fidget Toys for anger/overwhelmed?

Hi all! As the title says, I’m looking for some fidget toys to have for when I get angry or overwhelmed. I get so overwhelmed and angry sometimes i have the urge to snap my glasses or smash my phone which obviously is not great. My therapist recommended I look for fidget toys but I specifically was looking for something that I can basically snap in half or break but put it back together again. I thought about getting like popsicle sticks but I’d rather not have to deal with the possibility of having to clean up any wood pieces that go flying.

TYIA!☺️

MUYI Musketeer fidget question

I have the clone/copy of the Muyi Musketeer and absolutely love it, but I really want the gattling add-on. A seller I tried to buy the gattling add-on from said it wouldn't fit, is this true, if anyone knows?

I'm considering buying the genuine one with gattling and sonic bead add-on from Geeone. Or could I buy a new barrel and the gattling add-on for my clone?

Muyi (Nayici) Musketeer Opinions

I'm currently deliberating whether to get the standard blackened ti/steel model from GeeOne or a purple full set from Ikael.

I figured I could get just the body and spinner (Sonic Mecha bead) from GeeOne and then maybe get the clicker (Gattling attachment) and ratchet mod kit later. That'd make it a bit lower cost upfront but on the other hand if I'm getting it, it kinda makes sense to get all the parts since they could stop being produced in the same materials.

I love that the body can make a zippo sound and give a bit of bolt action rifle style feedback which was the main attraction. Interested to hear thoughts on what you would buy out of the above and from people who have one, particularly how it aged once well used (did the Zippo sound stay crisp etc?)

Clear Remeltable Picky Pads?

I just discovered Picky Pads and I absolutely love them! I like that there is a remeltable version because I feel like the silicone versions you use and toss out seem wasteful. I've seen some people make clear remeltable picky pads, does anyone know what material that is? I'm aware of Silinot but it seems to only come in blue.

Where to get official/highest quality fidget cube in UK?

I'm looking to buy a fidget cube, but it's hard to know which is the most solid/official one. I found one on amazon, but it's way cheaper than other options (£5 per cube, as a 2 pack), and a few people in the reviews were suspicious about it being counterfeit, despite having the 'zuru/antsy labs' logo. I'm in the UK.

If there's a knock-off that is better quality, I don't mind.

Would my magnetic desk interfere with fidgets?

I have a Secretlab Magnus Pro. It's made of metal and has a magnetic pad sitting on top of it. I was wondering if the magnetism or the metal would interfere with magnets inside a fidget? I'm looking to get something from Lautie so would like to be sure before I drop £250+ on a piece!

Ordering from Lautie/GeeOne/ikaeledc.com to the UK - VAT/Duty?

Hi all, although all of the above sites offer free international shipping to the UK, I'm just wondering if anyone has experience importing to the UK (I understand most EU countries have similar customs situations). The prices are already quite steep and the US enjoys an $800 duty free import cap. To the UK the only exemption these days is a gift under £35 in value. A lot of international sellers tend to use services that don't get hit by fees but wondered what the situation is like. The sellers of course all have a disclaimer that they are not responsible for additional fees.

I'm interested in a Nayici Musketeer set which is $215 on GeeOne, but could wind up being another $60 in fees (20% VAT + handling).

I have one shot to have stuff shipped to the US as I'll go for Christmas but it'll mean having to wait quite a while and won't have that option in future.
Appreciate any input!

Fun Sub $50 Pens

Monteverde Ritma Rollerball ($24-$44, depending on material). The magnetic cap is the superpower here. Fun to dislodge both when capped and posted.

Lamy Pico Ballpoint ($37-49, depending on color). Very interesting click mechanism that expands the pen in length by an inch or so when the pen is deployed. Clicks down small when the pen is retracted. Great for EDC, although refills are proprietary to Lamy.

Monami 153 Black & White ($20-21, depending on color). This is the metal barrel version of the original plastic Korean classic that is still available (12 for $5). This pen has a nice side click action that is addictive. Takes Parker style refills - my favorite is the Schmidt EasyFlow 9000. There is a limited edition version of this pen which sells for around $50. Not sure how it differs. Comes in white gold, rose gold and yellow gold.

Inc Clip Click ($8 for a pack of 6). The pen is deployed with a down click from the top, but to retract you must push the bottom of the clip (about 1.5" down). So it acts like a side clicker. Very cool, satisfying, and the best bargain on this list.

Leven Fidget Spinning Gel Pen ($10 for a pack of 3). Nice regular top click with a fairly large button. The Superpower here is the spinning piece near the top. I can spin it about 10 seconds.

Smootherpro Fidget Bolt Action Pen ($17). Bolt action (not my favorite style but YMMV) with a spinning top (about 10 seconds).

Erarise Fidget Spinner Pen ($18). The pen twists open (not my favorite style but YMMV) with a spinning top. The Superpower here is the top spins much longer than the two above, about 25 seconds.

Smootherpro Titanium Bolt Action Pen ($50). I don't have this pen, but the mechanism looks cool. The entire clip assembly moves in the bolt action track.

Retro 1951 Tornado Rollerball ($36). I don't have this pen, but people report playing with the knurled twist mechanism at the top of the pen, spinning it open and closed.

Introducing Tilez, the new fidget designed and made by me! (now available for sale)

Tilez

Timestamp

Tilez is a magnetic fidget toy that is 3D printed in high quality materials and is entirely press fit. It is my original design and is SUPER adaptable to your own fidgeting preferences. You can make the Tilez POP for a nice, haptic feeling or you can slide them quietly if you’re in a calmer environment. You can spin them, click them, slide them, and even add more to make them into cool little shapes. Everything is press fit so there are no adhesives or glue that might irritate your hands, and you get to pick whatever color buttons you’d like! Each Tilez comes with a color base, and 2 color customizable buttons that you select from my 4 current available options; galaxy purple, galaxy black, emerald green or brilliant blue! This is my very first drop (hopefully of many) and I’d love to hear your thoughts and feedback! I’m honestly very excited to finally introduce my own design, as I’ve wanted to craft my own toy for the longest time that is fun, high quality, and inexpensive, so hopefully you guys enjoy it. Please let me know if you have any questions!

ACTION VIDEOS

GALAXY DROP DETAILS: I have 16 available Tilez for this drop in the following colors, and any model is $25 shipped with PayPal F&F, $4 for any additional buttons requested

Galaxy Black 4 available 3 available

Free floating fidget slider

If I can only get one, which one will you get? Magnus, KukoEDC, or Blackdog labs?

Which is the most durable and will not dent if dropped?

Edit: Does anyone have experience buying from Blackdog Labs? I sent 2 emails on Sunday and only got replies on that day itself. Further 2 emails sent on Monday and Wed (questions I wanted to ask before committing to purchasing) did not have any replies.

Sparkly fidgets?

My friend loves visual stimming and wants a sparkly fidget toy.

It can either be “sparkly and squishy,” or “sparkly and spinny.”

Any ideas? I’m not super aware of sparkles.

Are there any fidget toys that sound like scissors?

I like the sound scissors make when cutting stuff. It sounds snippy and I like it, so when I’m bored I kind of cut the air rapidly to hear the sound and because the squeezing motion is nice when paired together. The problem is I get really tempted to cut stuff which isn’t great when I am surrounded by stuff I can cut. I cut things like paper into literal confetti because I want to hear the snips. I get tempted to pretend to cut my hands/fingers too which I know I won’t do it but I could on accident. So does anyone know of any fidget that has the sound and probably the squeezing motion scissors have preferably one that doesn’t look like a kid’s toy. I have travel thread cutters that is a part of a beading kit right next to me that I’ve just been popping the sheath on and off so I can play with it.

How to fix broken Needohs?

So, I recently purchased both a needoh dream drop and nice cube since I’ve always wanted them. However, the seal on the nice cube broke within just a couple of hours. The dream drop broke in about a week, and I’m pretty bummed out since I really enjoyed the feel of these. Is there any way to fix the seal? I tried silicone glue but that ended up just peeling right off.
